Personal Guidance

Residents of those planets enjoy bodies free of aging, disease, fatigue. Yet they still must die at the Lord's appointed moment. Even the best material upgrade does not solve the fundamental problem. Don't confuse health with salvation.

Reflection Questions

What problem do I keep trying to solve with self-care that actually requires devotion?
